Thermal imaging camera
Handheld camera that displays temperature differences in real-time, revealing air leaks around windows, doors, and electrical outlets. Makes invisible energy waste visible and photographable for convincing reports.
What to look for
- 1At least 160×120 infrared resolution (256×192 is better)
- 2Built-in screen 3+ inches for on-site viewing
- 3Image storage or USB transfer to document findings
- 4Temperature range covering at least 32–212°F for building diagnostics
Skip
- Card-based leak detectors that only change color (the listing seems mismatched)
- Models without storage if you need to prove findings later
Used for: Conducting home energy audits · Documenting air leaks visually · Identifying insulation gaps · Creating before/after weatherization reports
